| --- | --- |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
This Annual Report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by the rules of the SEC for newly public companies. Under the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Company is not required to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 until the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ending June 30, 2020.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Since the Transaction, several aspects of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting have changed. The Company historically relied on certain financial, administrative and other resources of 21CF to manage specific aspects of its business and report results. In connection with the Transaction, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with 21CF and Disney under which 21CF is providing some of these services to the Company on a transitional basis. In addition, in connection with the Transaction, the Company has implemented new corporate and oversight functions, such as a Board of Directors, legal, treasury, corporate communications and investor relations. The Company has also revised and adopted policies, as needed, to meet the regulatory requirements applicable to a standalone publicly traded company and is undertaking a redesign of several business processes. As business processes and controls change as a result of this ongoing effort, the Company will continue to identify, document and evaluate key controls to ensure its internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Other than as described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
